According to SOA definitions, that is exactly what it does. True, there is more to a service than the interface (granularity, contract, discoverability, etc.) but wrapping a CICS app with a service wrapper is exactly the same as defining the service defintion first and then creating the service implementation (which can use *any* technology or architecture) behind it. Wrapping existing functionality with a service definition is perfectly legitimate. -Rob
